While I was in the frog pond I came across this guy:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1659648He posted +600 posts yet failed to get any merits! He even started a thread just to say this:
Today Bitcoin is at $11,000.
If you buy Bitcoin at $1,000 after the price falls, you get/save $10,000. That's profit.

When Bitcoin goes $1,000 to $2,000, you get $1,000 profit.

I reported the post and it has already been deleted...
So...
My idea is that all members with a post count that is more than 100 times - or whatever the staff see fits - their earned merits should have their post history checked by the mods for a possible ban. I guess it could be implemented so those accounts automatically appear for the mods to check them.
Edit: Based on TheQuin suggestion, you can add time to the equation so that it only gives members with +X (eg. +100) posts in the last month.
Why wait for the shitposters to stop using the forums? Lets take action and start banning them!

PS: Those threads are nice to get you started with a small merit boost, but you can't rely solely on them. If you really want to get merits, the best way is to get out there and participate in this forum

Man those merit giveaways are springing everywhere! I would really love it if the mods where to tell us of the best board to start such threads.
